What is Gratuity - Meaning, Formula, Eligibility, Rules, & How to Calculate

Gratuity is a monetary benefit payable to an employee who has completed more than 5 years of full-time employment at a particular organisation as per The Payment of Gratuity Act 1972. Employees are eligible for gratuity at the time of retirement or resignation only when they complete 5 or more years with the company (or if the employee has completed 240 days in the 4th year). However, in case of a disability due to an accident or death, the 5-year rule is relaxed or altered as per the company policy. Gratuity is dependent on several factors, such as the last drawn salary of the employee, the number of years in service, and the guidelines that are in place at the time of calculating gratuity. In this article, we will discuss the general rules about gratuity, like eligibility, payment process, the formula for calculating gratuity, gratuity taxation rules, and other details around gratuity.

Recent List of Banks Mergers and Acquisitions in India

In a move to redefine and restructure the country’s financial institutions, the PJ Nayak Panel in 2014 recommended privatising state-run banks to lighten the burden on the government. Since state and public sector banks (PSBs) depend on government aid to stay functional, merging multiple small and public banks into a global-sized bank helps to improve operational efficiency and widens the reach of the government bank across the country. PSBs and state banks have a firm footing in their region, and merging these banks into one unit helps to increase the branch network as per the RBI; this will help to revamp India’s banking system, creating global, robust, and well-funded banking institutions. Taking from this recommendation, the Government of India in August 2019, announced a mega-merger of 10 public sector undertaking (PSU) banks into four. This decision was conveyed to the cabinet’s approval by India’s Finance Minister Shri Nirmala Sitaraman. She also said that the merger would take place after the boards of the banks have met and decided on how to take the proceedings further. As per her statement on 28th March 2020, the mergers would take effect from 1st April 2020. Are banks’ mergers and acquisitions in India a good thing? Will it impact existing shareholders, account holders, and the banking staff? What is the list of mergers of banks in India that this decision will impact? We answer these in this guide.
